Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, the students;

  1. Will be able to discuss the morphological structures and the locations of the components of the gastrointestinal system, general structure of the abdominal wall and the abdominal cavity and to discus their disorders related with physioanatomy.
  2. Will be able to associate the functional interaction between gastrointestinal system, endocrine system and nervous system; to be able to describe mechanisms underlying gastrointestinal motor and secretory functions and to incorporate them into clinical skills in the future.
  3. Will be able to recognize and evaluate structural features of cells, tissues and organs belonging to digestive system and associated glands and their role in the human body, to distinguish the cells, tissues and organs of this system by self examination under light microscope and to presume and correlate the reasons of abnormal development of this system and the underlying mechanisms knowing the basic elements of normal development
  4. Will be able to interpret the cellular and metabolic responses in extreme conditions of nutrition
  5. Will be able to describe the regulatory role of related hormons
  6. Will be able to explain digestion and absorption of basic biological molecules, their metabolisms, interrelationships of metabolism and inborn errors of metabolism.
  7. Will be able to use certain methods of statistics in health sciences

Course DescriptionThis course reviews the basic principles related to anatomy, histology-embryology, physiology, genetic and biochemistry of gastrointestinal system and metabolism. This course also reviews the basic concepts and nature of statistical problems
Course Contents The main objectives of the course are to familiarize students with the morphology of the gastrointestinal system and to make them ready to understand their functions and to discuss the basic disorders related with anatomy, to describe the histological structure of digestive system and associated glands, to help students to understand to inform students about functions of digestive system including motility, secretion, digestion and absorption and also to enable students to comprehend the interaction between gastrointestinal system, endocrine system and nervous system, to explain digestion and absorption of basic biological molecules, their metabolisms, interrelationships of metabolism and inborn errors of metabolism. Additionally, students familiarize with parametric tests, correlation and linear regression analysis.
